I use one that is smaller. 7" x 2½" but don't tell anyone.I am sure there are plenty of deviants out there like me who used 8 x 3 inch strops. We just don't talk openly about it .

That's what I've done and it's been fine so far. It's the DIY vs outsourcing procurement choice.I use one that is smaller. 7" x 2½" but don't tell anyone.
